Author's Note: Had a bit of a marathon today while I was off sick, and this little snippit just came to mind. And no, josiris, this isn't the one I was working on earlier. Gene!muse is taking his time on that one. ;) Very much unbetaed, all mistakes are mine.
Everything had gone dark. Alex was scared, but she was with Gene, and that kept some of her fear at bay.
"I know." That's what he'd said to her, but what did he know? Did he know that despite not wanting to die, despite all the crap he'd put her through, he was the one person with whom she was willing to go. And if she was meant to die right here, right now, she wanted it to be worthwhile.
Slowly she adjusted herself to sit up a bit, getting her face even closer to his. She could feel his breath on her face; the smell of whiskey he'd been drinking washing over her. Clumsily she brushed her lips in the direction of what she thought was his lips, but managed to hit his chin.
Gene chuckled. "Bad sense of direction, Bolly," he teased.
"Like you have any better," she mocked. She was surprised by one of his hands sliding up her body, starting at her hip and exploring her slowly like a blind man trying to find his way. It was quite erotic and set her heart pumping harder, her breathing getting shallower. She whimpered quietly as his fingers brushed her right breast, wanting them to stay longer, but he continued on his taunting journey.
Finally - or maybe unfortunately - he reached her face. He traced his fingers along her chin, and she licked her lips just as he approached them. Her tongue swept across a couple of his fingers, and she smiled as he groaned in appreciation. His fingers stayed there, and she felt him shift closer to her, his lips replacing the digits.
It started off somewhat chastely: closed mouth, soft and sweet.
'Such a tease,' she thought as her desire for more grew.
Alex decided to move this along; after all, who knew how long they had left. She opened her mouth in invitation; Gene took it. His tongue slid in between her lips, languorously slipping along her tongue. Her body tingled with pleasure as the kiss deepened and their hands joined in the heightening of the bliss in their final moments: groping, grasping, grabbing wherever they could.
This was one hell of a way to go.
Almost as if to throw the proverbial wet blanket on the seduction, the door suddenly opened, the lights went on and an alarm began to wail. Alex and Gene couldn't separate any more quickly than if they were quite literally on fire. They looked to the door to see Chris, Shaz and Ray all standing there, looking a little bit stunned to see them in their current state of undress.
They ignored the others' questioning glances and picked themselves up quickly, heading out of the vault before they got caught for more than making out.
THE END
